Here is a breakdown of my expenses for October. I thought I had already posted these, but since the post is nowhere to be found on my blog I guess I didn’t or it just disappeared somehow.
| Household | $464.85 |
| Entertainment | $103.51 |
| Transportation | $83.94 |
| Food | $131.05 |
| Student Loan | $106.00 |
| Travel | $580.50 |
| Phone | $26.81 |
| Health | $722.46 |
| Total | $2275.43 |
My October expenses were high due to two big expenses on health and travel. The health expense was big due to the bone graft surgery I had to prepare for getting dental implants next year. The travel expense was high due to paying for my hotel room for November’s vacation and my last-minute passport experience.
I’m okay with the health expenses since getting my implants is important to my future dental health. Other than the extra $70 I had to pay to get my passport expedited I’m okay with the travel expenses as well. The Cancun vacation ended up costing a little more than I planned, but it was still a decent value. As a once a year expense it is okay to splurge a little.
